because when e sets lang and something else - like the distro set LC_ALL people
complain that e's language dialog doesn't work. you don't win. better that it
works even if in a dumb way. the solution is to allow e to set all the LC_* env
vars and be able to choose what you want for what specifically. patches
accepted. :)
